FACE OF THE FUTURE: Matilda's CLAY THOMSON

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN THIS WEEK'S ALL-NEW "HOT OR NOT" POLLS

(THERE ARE TWO!) CLICK LOGO TO YOUR RIGHT!

Fansies and The Revolting Children already know who this guy is. Heaven knows the fans of Newsiesand Matilda are fervent in their love of the casts of these shows! In this case, though, they are 100% right to have their eye on this guy! Clay Thomsonmade his national debut in the tour of West Side Story, and made his Broadway debut as Spot Conlon in Newsies, and currently pulls double duty in Matilda as a swing and the gym captain (the "physical education" scene is pretty... athletic and dangerous looking to me). And how appropriate that Broadway's Big Glasses Queen, the great Elaine Stritch, is retiring and being replaced just in time! Of course, his boyish face and huge smile might get him noticed. But I'm willing to bet that his talents will allow him a long Broadway career!

About Me

MAJOR theatre enthusiast! Love the Divas, the Broadway Boys. I mostly enjoy musicals, but lately have come to even seek out a good play. Theatre is my passion, a passion I hope to share with many others.
